Hi Sonny, Nice looker... On our So Cal vintage ride this last week, I brought out my Pro Strada - and was reminded now nice it rides. Mike Howard was on the ride, and I asked him about the Medici serial number database question. He didn't think there exists a true 'database' of the various Medici models that were built. The syntax is of the numbering (i think) is logical and intuitive: You own a 55cm frame, and it was the 2,615th frame made (or... STAMPED !!).
Mine has the 61 0387 - so it's a big 61cm, pretty early one. Pic at:
